SP takes potshots at BJP after Legislative Council poll loss
The ruling Samajwadi Party
(SP) in Uttar Pradesh Saturday took potshots at the Bharatiya Janata
Party (BJP) after its second candidate for the Legislative Council poll
held Friday lost.
SP spokesman and cabinet minister Rajendra
Chowdhary said the outcome had proved yet again that the Modi magic was
on the wane in the state.
"I advise the state unit of the BJP to
not have blind faith in the Modi wave and realise that the ground
beneath their feet is slipping in Uttar Pradesh," Chowdhary said.
He
added that the BJP had lost all the seats it held in the state assembly
bypoll late last year and recently the cantonment board election.
"The
people of the state are waking up to the reality that the SP government
under Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav was not only the best suited for
communal harmony but also for the development of the state," the cabinet
minister said.
He also accused the BJP of using money to get their second candidate elected but ultimately failed miserably in the process.
